Lofral 10Mg 30Tab

Lofral is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by angina. It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps reduce the pressure on the heart.

Lofral contains the active ingredient Amlodipine Besilate (أملوديبين بيسيلات) that works by inhibiting calcium entry into smooth muscle cells in blood vessels. This leads to the dilation of blood vessels, reducing resistance to blood flow. Consequently, Lofral helps improve blood flow and decrease the workload on the heart, making it effective in treating high blood pressure and angina.
